The Ultimate Travelling Camp, India
This astonishing hideaway in the northernmost mountains of India is about so much more than ‘glamping’, as you yield to local culture and enjoy the invigorating outdoor life as it’s been lived for thousands of years.
The Ultimate Travelling Camp
Every day you stay at Chamba Camp – and assuming you’re awake early enough – you’ll gaze out at Thiksey Monastery in the valley below, bathed in morning light of exquisite quality, and be eternally glad you made it here.
It’s a very long way from tourist-trodden India, and is one of a handful of traveller-style camps hidden in the mountainous Ladaky district. This is the northernmost part of India, sparsely populated and with altitudes of up to 6500m.
Bud don’t imagine for one moment that you’re annexed from civilisation.
For one thing, the tents in this little settlement set new standards for sumptuousness – there’s a butler service, a beautiful bathroom, a private verandah, and a writing desk with spectacular views where you can harvest your thoughts.
For another, your daily excursions will immerse you in the remote beauty and ancient traditions of the surrounding area. It’s a place of stunning contrasts.
You’ll be immersed in a thunderous polo match in the very region where the royal game originated; then you’ll be taking morning prayers with Buddhist monks. You’ll be going on long walks through ancient villages or Old Leh City, and then rediscovering traditional dances and music performed by a dedicated troupe of local performers.
Meanwhile, mountain-biking over Wari La, the world’s fourth-highest mountain pass, and rafting down the River Indus provide life-affirming thrills.
Believe us, if you perspire at all then it’s down to exhilaration and not the humidity; this is one of India’s coolest spots, with daily temperature of 10-32 degrees for the limited May-October time you can visit. We’d love to return again and again to replenish mind and body.
